AI-ready or not… Why Readiness Is the New Marketing Superpower

What does it mean to be “marketing-ready” in 2026? 

Readiness is when your tools, data, and workflows work together to make every campaign smarter, faster, and more effective. It’s your ability to use AI safely, consistently, and strategically to drive real business outcomes. 

But while leading brands are experimenting boldly, many teams remain chained to outdated systems and processes, built for a slower era. 

In this session, we’ll explore why readiness (not AI adoption) is the real differentiator.

“The opportunity to speak to people both from a kind of one to one networking standpoint, over a coffee, face to face is really useful, really powerful to be able to swap those sort of war stories around how we're encountering challenges and how we're kind of overcoming them.”
Ben Trethowan
CISO, BRIT Insurance
“I think the product demos are really good, and I’ve enjoyed that. It educates me on what's happening in technology. Also I like to know what's happening behind people's day jobs in a similar role to mine. And so hearing some of the presenters speak about what they're facing as their challenges, they resonate with me.”
Mike Samra
CTO, The AA
“It's helping us to meet with key CISO target audiences that we would typically only dream of trying to meet in a typical financial year. So having 10 guaranteed meetings as part of the conference agenda has really, really helped us boost the pipeline and start those conversations.”
Chris Whelan
UK Regional Marketing Lead, NCC Group
“The value to Devoteam of sponsoring this event has been an opportunity to present to the delegates, but also to have a number of really high quality 1 on 1 meetings with, with business and tech leaders from the UK. Some really inspirational people delivering some fantastic transformations. So it's been really good to talk to them.”
Richard Andrews
Managing Director UK&I, DevoTeam
“This is the 3rd event we’ve done with Inspire Business Media. And what I'm starting to see is that whilst we may pick up opportunities that can benefit our business in the short term. I'm starting to see real long term benefits and building relationships as I'm walking through the room. It's not just about meeting somebody and doing a meeting and generating a new project or a new opportunity. It's really meeting people that can amplify our message. And I think that's gonna drive a lot of value for our business long term.”
Andy Mullings
Global Director, Bluprintx
“It's great to get the condensed meetings together. So it's actually quite useful from a time perspective for us to be able to do that. And actually, we've had an opportunity to appear out of one of the meetings. So it's great that that could potentially fund the entire event for us. And, now, that propels us to want to do more of these events with you.”
Robin Wright
Senior Account Executive, Fortra
“As an attendee, the value I've got from attending this is actually speaking and meeting with like minded people. I think it's really interesting, having conversations about what you do in your day job and being able to compare it with others. And from that, you end up solutionising over a conversation or over food and drinks.”
Goher Mohammed
Group Head of IT Security, L&Q
“Bring lots of water because you're gonna talk a lot. I think, it's just great to kind of get out and meet people and to see what other people are doing and go with an open mind because you'll actually learn a lot and you'll find people, I suppose, that have synergies with you and what you're trying to achieve.”
Michelle Kearns
Head of IT - Boots Ireland
“I've had some great conversations today, talking to suppliers. 1 of them has made me think about some of the security aspects that I have within my own organisation. We have a good comprehensive security program going on, where we are at the moment. But there's been a few moments where it's made me think, have I got these things covered?”
Vicky Higgin
CDIO, Cityfibre
“You know, for me, coming to an event like this has a huge impact, not only on my ability to build my personal brand a little bit, which is always really, nice thing for me to be able to do, but also in just taking away these really, really insightful moments from other people who are in the trenches as well and being able to implement them in my team.”
Heather Hurd
Senior Director, Content Marketing, FIS Global
“I think for me personally, for an organisation that is quite legacy, it's great to take forward some of the best practice that we've seen from other, speakers and and sessions today, really going away to look at how we can sort of drive the AI journey within our own business and how we can use data better to leverage, really insightful decision making.”
Neil Shah
IT & Digital Director, Arriva UK Trains
“I think there's been some really good presentations particularly around you know, everyone's talking about AI, but what does that really mean? There have been some good conversations around how we mesh AI with human interaction to make sure we're getting the best of both worlds.”
Andy Piper
CISO - Investment Bank, Barclays
“The people who have been attending on the buyer side have definitely been the type of stakeholders that we would like to engage with as vendors. These are decision makers. These are influencers. These are high level ROI conversations. It’s been amazing.”
Yoav Lebens
UK Country Manager, OX Security
“The network that we've established and built today, always goes a long way into having better conversations, getting better insights with the people we work with, and ultimately just delivering better all around service. So it's been a really great day and I highly recommend it to anybody as well.”
Marco Oliver
Co-founder & CEO at Configur
